Virginia Form 760 Instructions

What's New

Virginia's Fixed Date Conformity with the Internal Revenue Code: Virginia's date of conformity with the federal enhanced Earned Income Tax Credit ("EITC") was extended to taxable years ending before January 1, 2018. Virginia will continue to allow taxpayers to claim either the Tax Credit for Low-Income Individuals or a credit equal to 20% of the Federal EITC that was claimed for the taxable year. Low-Income taxpayers may also continue to claim the portion of the Virginia Low-Income Tax Credit that is based on the federal EITC without making complex adjustments on their Virginia income tax returns.

During the 2014 Session, the General Assembly did not advance Virginia's date of conformity with the Internal Revenue Code, and the date of conformity remains January 2, 2013. Virginia will continue to disallow federal income tax deductions for bonus depreciation allowed for certain assets under Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") §§ 168(k), 168(l), 168(m), 1400L and 1400N; the five-year carryback of federal net operating loss deductions generated in Taxable Year 2008 or 2009; and federal income tax deductions for applicable high yield discount obligations under IRC § 163(e)(5)(F).

At the time these instructions went to print, the only required adjustments for "fixed date conformity" were those mentioned above. However, if federal legislation is enacted that results in changes to the IRC for the 2014 taxable year, taxpayers will be required to make adjustments to their Virginia returns that are not described in the instruction booklet. Information about any such adjustments will be posted on the Department's website at www.tax.virginia.gov.

Virginia Income Tax Treatment of Same-Sex Marriage: Same-sex couples that are married under the law of any state are now recognized as married couples for Virginia income tax purposes. Virginia income tax guidance for same-sex married couples is available on the Department's website at www.tax.virginia.gov. See Virginia Tax Bulletin 14-7 (Public Document 14-174, 10/7/14).

Virginia College Savings PlanSM (Virginia529SM) Contributions: Beginning with the 2014 taxable year, individuals may contribute all or part of their income tax refunds to one or more Virginia529 accounts by completing Schedule VAC. Virginia529 is a 529 college savings plan that offers flexible, affordable, tax-advantaged savings for qualified higher education expenses through its four programs: Virginia529 prePAIDSM, Virginia529 inVESTSM, CollegeAmerica®, and CollegeWealth®. Nearly $53 billion in assets under management and 2.3 million accounts as of June 30, 2014 make Virginia529 the largest 529 plan in the country. For information on establishing accounts, visit Virginia529.com. See the instructions for Schedule VAC on Page 26 of this book for details on this contribution program.

First-Time Home Buyer Savings Accounts: Individuals may designate an account with a financial institution as a first-time home buyer savings account. Distributions from such accounts must be used solely for paying or reimbursing the down payment and allowable closing costs for the purchase of a single-family residence in Virginia. An individual may subtract any income attributable to such account that was taxed as interest, capital gains, or other income for federal income tax purposes, to the extent it was included in such individual's federal adjusted gross income. However, if funds are withdrawn from the account for purposes other than to pay eligible costs, any subtractions previously taken would be subject to recapture.

Education Improvement Scholarships Tax Credits: For taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2014, an income tax credit may be claimed for monetary or marketable securities donations made to scholarship foundations included on an approved list published by the Virginia Department of Education. The credit is equal to 65 percent of the monetary or marketable securities donation made to the scholarship foundation. Tax credits will be awarded to taxpayers on a first-come, first- served basis in accordance with procedures established by the Virginia Department of Education. For information on how to qualify, contact the Department of Education at 804-225-3375.

Reminders

Direct Deposit: Due to electronic banking rules, the Department will not allow direct deposits to or through foreign financial institutions. Attempting to use direct deposit to transfer funds electronically to a financial institution outside the territorial jurisdiction of the United States will significantly delay your refund. Visit www.tax.virginia.gov for details.

Extension for Filing Income Tax Returns: All taxpayers are granted an automatic 6-month extension of time to file their income tax returns. No application for extension is required; however, any tentative tax due must be paid with an extension voucher, Form 760IP, by the original due date for filing the return.

Consumer's Use Tax: Did you purchase merchandise by Internet, telephone, or mail, or did you purchase any merchandise outside Virginia and pay no sales tax? If so, you may be required to pay Consumer's Use Tax. Be sure to report the applicable tax on Form 760, Line 35. See the instructions for Form 760, Line 35 or visit www.tax.virginia.gov for more information.

Civil and Criminal Penalties: The civil penalty for filing a false or fraudulent return or for failing or refusing to file any return with intent to evade the tax, is an additional penalty of 100% of the correct tax.

Any individual who willfully fails or refuses to file a return, at the time or times required by law, shall be guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor. In addition, an individual who makes any false statements on a return, with intent to defraud the Commonwealth, shall be guilty of a Class 6 felony.

Do You Need to File a Virginia Income Tax Return?

Every Virginia resident whose Virginia adjusted gross income is at or above the minimum threshold must file.

Complete Form 760, Lines 1 through 9, to determine your Virginia adjusted gross income (VAGI). If the amount on Line 9 is less than the amount shown below for your filing status, your Virginia income tax is $0.00 and you are entitled to a refund of any withholding or estimated tax paid. You must file a return to receive a refund. To claim a refund in these cases, Complete Lines 10 through 16 and enter "0" as your tax on Lines 17 and 19. Then complete Lines 20 through 38. You must file if you are:

Single and your VAGI is $11,950 or more

Married filing jointly and combined VAGI is $23,900 or more

Married filing separately and your VAGI is $11,950 or more

When to File Your Return

Filing by mail or commercial delivery service - If you are mailing several documents, please consider using a flat envelope to ensure proper handling and faster processing. When filing by mail, the envelope must be postmarked by the due date. Put the correct postage on your envelope. If your return is sent back to you because of insufficient postage, you are liable for penalties and interest if the postmark on the remailed return is after the due date. Tax returns or payment of taxes remitted by a commercial delivery service will be considered timely filed if they are received in an envelope or sealed container bearing a confirmation of shipment on or before midnight of the day the return or payment is due.

Calendar year filer - If your taxable year is January 1, 2014 - December 31, 2014, your individual income tax return must be postmarked no later than May 1, 2015, to avoid penalties and interest.

Fiscal year filer - If your taxable year is any consecutive 12-month period other than January - December, your individual income tax return must be postmarked by the 15th day of the 4th month following the end of your fiscal year. When filing, you should write "Fiscal Year Filer" across the top of Page 1 of Form 760 and attach a statement indicating the beginning and ending months of your fiscal year.

Outside U.S. - If you are living or traveling outside the United States or Puerto Rico (including persons in the military or naval service on duty outside the United States and Puerto Rico), you must file your return by July 1, 2015. Fill in the overseas on due date oval on Page 1 of Form 760.

Weekends and holidays - If the due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, your return must be postmarked by the next business day.

Extension provisions - Virginia law provides an automatic 6-month filing extension for income tax returns. No application for extension is required. The extension is for filing the return, not for payment of the tax; therefore, you must pay at least 90% of your tax by the due date, May 1 for calendar year filers, to avoid penalty. To make a payment of tentative tax, use Form 760IP.

Foreign income exclusion - If you qualify for the federal foreign income exclusion and have requested an extension of time for filing your federal return, you may apply for an extension of time to file your state return. You will be granted an extension for 30 days after the date you expect to qualify for the federal exclusion. You must apply for an extension of time to file your state return by letter on or before the 1st day of the 7th month following the close of your taxable year and attach a copy of the approved federal extension to your return when you file.

Members of the military - Members of the Armed Forces serving in a combat zone receive either the same individual income tax filing and payment extensions as those granted to them by the IRS, plus an additional 15 days, or a 1-year extension, whichever date is later. All extensions also apply to spouses of military personnel. Service families may wish, however, to file their individual income tax returns before the extended deadlines to receive refunds. Service members claiming this extension should write "Combat Zone" across the top of their tax returns and on the envelopes used to mail their returns. Such combat zone personnel should similarly write "Combat Zone" across the top of correspondence, and on the envelope used to mail the correspondence, when responding to notices issued by the Department. See Tax Bulletin 05-5, available in the Laws, Rules, and Decisions Section of the Department's website at www.tax.virginia.gov for more information.

In addition, every member of the armed services deployed outside of the United States is allowed an extension of his or her due date. The extension will expire 90 days following the completion of deployment. Service members who claim this extension should write "Overseas Noncombat" on the top of their tax returns.

Additional information for spouses of military personnel is provided in the Residency Status and Choosing the Right Form to File section later in this booklet.

Where to File

Use e-File to electronically file your federal and state tax returns at the same time. Software programs that provide e-File capability are available online and for purchase in stores. All e-File software will automatically check for completeness, correct errors, generate the applicable schedules and provide the option to transmit the return to the IRS and/or the Department's electronic processing systems. Some vendors will allow taxpayers to file their returns electronically for free based on certain qualifiers.

To file by mail, use the list of mailing addresses beginning on Page 45 and look up the city or county where you live, or file directly with the Department. Local phone numbers are also provided.

For more information about filing by e-File and filing by mail, go to www.tax.virginia.gov.

Amended Returns

If your federal return is amended, resulting in changes to your taxable income or any amount affecting the Virginia return, you must file an amended Virginia return within one year. If the IRS provided documentation that acknowledges acceptance of your federal amended return, attach a copy to the Virginia amended return. In addition, if you file an amended return with any other state that affects your Virginia income tax, you must file an amended Virginia return within one year. The Department may issue a refund only if the amended return is filed within:

3 years from the due date of the original return, including valid filing extensions;
1 year from the final determination of the amended federal return or federal change, whichever is later, provided that the allowable refund is not more than the decrease in Virginia tax attributable to the federal change or correction;
1 year from the final determination of the amended return of any other state or change or correction in the income tax of the taxpayer for any other state, provided that the refund does not exceed the amount of the decrease in Virginia tax attributable to such change or correction;
2 years from the filing of an amended Virginia return resulting in the payment of additional tax, provided that the current amended return raises issues relating solely to the prior amended return and that the refund does not exceed the amount of the tax payment made as a result of the prior amended return; or
2 years from the payment of an assessment, provided the amended return raises issues relating only to the prior assessment and the refund does not exceed the amount of tax paid on the prior assessment.

Complete a new return using the corrected figures, as if it were the original return. Do not make any adjustments to the amended return to show that you received a refund or paid a balance due as the result of the original return. Use the worksheet for amended returns below to determine if you are due a refund or if any additional tax due should be paid with your amended return. If your amended return results in additional tax due, interest must be paid on the tax you owe from the due date of your original return to the date that the amended return is filed or postmarked.

Fill in the oval on the front of Form 760, indicating that this is an amended return. Also, fill in the additional oval on the front of the return if the amended return is the result of a net operating loss (NOL) carryback. General instructions for computing the NOL can be obtained from the Laws, Rules and Decisions Section of the Department's website at www.lrd.tax.virginia. gov. Select the Virginia Tax Administrative Code link, then 23VAC10-110-80 and 23VAC10-110-81 located in Chapter 110, Individual Income Tax. Attach a complete copy of your amended federal return, if applicable.

Worksheet for Amended Returns - If you are filing an amended return, use the worksheet below to determine if you will receive an additional refund or if you need to make an additional payment.

1. Amount paid with original return, plus additional tax paid after it was filed	______
2. Add Line 1 above and Line 28 from Form 760 and enter the total here	______
3. Overpayment, if any, as shown on original return or as previously adjusted	______
4. Subtract Line 3 from Line 2	______
5. If Line 4 above is less than Line 19, Form 760, subtract Line 4 above from Line 19, Form 760. This is the Tax You Owe	______
6. Refund. If Line 19, Form 760 is less than Line 4 above, subtract Line 19, Form 760 from Line 4 above. This is the Tax You Overpaid	______

Residency Status and Choosing the Right Form to File

There are two types of Virginia residents: domiciliary and actual.
A domiciliary resident of another state may also be an actual resident of Virginia.
Virginia residency may be either full-year or part-year.
A nonresident of Virginia may be required to file a Virginia return.
To determine which Virginia return you should file, first determine if you were a resident of Virginia at any time during the taxable year.

Step 1: Determine your residency status

Domiciliary Resident

You are a domiciliary (legal) resident if your permanent home is in Virginia. Your permanent home is where, whenever you are absent, you intend to return. Every person has one and only one domiciliary residence at a time. Most domiciliary residents actually live in Virginia; however, actual presence in Virginia is not required. If you have established legal domicile in Virginia, you are a domiciliary resident until you establish legal domicile in another state.

Members of the armed forces who claim Virginia as their home of record are domiciliary residents, even if stationed outside of Virginia.
A domiciliary resident who accepts employment outside of Virginia, but who does not abandon Virginia as his or her domiciliary residence, even if outside of Virginia for many years, remains a domiciliary resident of Virginia. This includes domiciliary residents who accept employment outside of the United States.

Actual Resident

You are an actual resident if:

You maintained an abode in Virginia or were physically present in Virginia for more than 183 total days during the taxable year, even if you are a domiciliary resident of another state or country.

If you are an actual resident of Virginia, you may be required to file as a resident in Virginia and in your domiciliary state. In this situation, you should claim a credit on the return filed in the state of your legal domicile for taxes paid to Virginia.

Students: The rules for determining the residency status of a student are the same as for anyone else.

Military Personnel and Members of the U.S. Congress: If you are a member of the armed forces or of the U.S. Congress who is a domiciliary (legal) resident of another state, you are not subject to taxation as an actual resident of Virginia even if you maintained an abode in Virginia for more than 183 days. However, if you have income from Virginia sources other than your active duty or congressional pay, you may be required to file a Form 763, Nonresident Income Tax Return.

Spouses, Dependents and Congressional Staff Members: The exemption for members of the armed forces and the U.S. Congress does not apply to spouses (see below), dependents or congressional staff members. If you are a spouse or dependent of a member of the armed forces or of the U.S. Congress or you are employed by a member of the U.S. Congress, you must determine your own residency status and filing obligations, even if you filed a joint federal return.

Spouses of Military Personnel: Under the Servicemember Civil Relief Act, as amended by the Military Spouses Residency Relief Act, a spouse of a military servicemember may be exempt from Virginia income tax on wages if (i) the servicemember is present in Virginia in compliance with military orders; (ii) the spouse is present in Virginia solely to be with the servicemember; and (iii) they both maintain the same non-Virginia domicile state. More information is available in Tax Bulletin 09-10 and Tax Bulletin 10-1 available on the website at www.tax.virginia.gov.

Step 2: Determine which income tax return you should file

Virginia Residents

File Form 760, Resident Return, if:

You were an actual or domiciliary resident for the entire year; or
You were an actual or domiciliary resident for a portion of the year, but all of your income for the entire year was from Virginia sources.

File Form 760PY, Part-Year Resident Return, if:

You moved into Virginia during the taxable year and became either an actual or domiciliary resident; or
You moved out of Virginia during the taxable year and became a domiciliary resident of another state, provided that you did not move back to Virginia within six months.

Note to Part-Year Residents: If you had Virginia source income during the taxable year while you were a nonresident, you may also be required to file Form 763, Nonresident Return. See Nonresidents, below.

Married Taxpayers: If one spouse is a Virginia resident and the other is a nonresident, you may not file a joint Virginia return unless you both elect to determine your joint Virginia taxable income as if you were both Virginia residents. If the spouses do not make such election, the resident spouse will file either Form 760 or Form 760PY, while the nonresident spouse will file Form 763, if applicable. However, if one spouse is a full-year resident and the other spouse is a part-year resident, you may file a joint return using Form 760PY. See the Form 760PY instructions for additional information.

Nonresidents

File Form 763, Nonresident Return, if:

You had income from Virginia sources, other than interest from personal savings accounts, interest or dividends from an individual stock market investment, or pension payments from a Virginia payor.

Income from Virginia sources includes:

Items of income gain, loss and deductions attributable to: a) The ownership of any interest in real or tangible personal property in Virginia; b) A business trade, profession, or occupation carried on in Virginia; and c) Prizes paid by the Virginia Lottery and gambling winnings from wagers placed or paid at a location in Virginia.
Income from intangible personal property, including annuities, dividends, interest, royalties and gains from the disposition of intangible personal property employed by an individual in a business, trade, profession or occupation carried on in this state.

If you were a Virginia resident for part of the year and you also received Virginia source income during your period of residence outside Virginia, you must file Form 760PY and Form 763. The Virginia source income reported on Form 763 will be only the Virginia source income you received while a nonresident.

Exceptions for Certain Nonresidents

An exception to the filing requirement for nonresidents applies to certain residents of Kentucky, the District of Columbia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia if their only Virginia source income is from salaries and wages. See below for qualifications. If residents of these states received other income from Virginia sources that is not specifically exempted, it must be reported as Virginia source income on Form 763, the Virginia Nonresident Return.

Kentucky and the District of Columbia: If you were a resident of Kentucky or the District of Columbia who commuted daily to work in Virginia, you are not required to file a Form 763 Nonresident Return, provided that 1) you had no actual place of abode in Virginia at any time during the taxable year, and 2) your only income from Virginia sources was salaries and wages, and 3) your salary and wages were subject to income taxation by Kentucky or the District of Columbia.

Maryland, Pennsylvania and West Virginia: If you were are a resident of Maryland, Pennsylvania or West Virginia and you earned salaries and wages in Virginia, you do not have to file a Form 763, Nonresident Return, provided that 1) your only income from Virginia sources was salaries and wages, and 2) you were present in Virginia for 183 days or less during the taxable year, and 3) your salaries and wages were subject to taxation by Maryland, Pennsylvania, or West Virginia.

Tax Withheld in Error by Employer: If Virginia tax was withheld from your income in error, you should file Form 763S to obtain a refund.

If you meet any of the exceptions above and had Virginia withholding, you may need to file Form 763S, Virginia Special Nonresident Claim For Individual Income Tax Withheld, to claim your refund.

If using Filing Status 3, enter the spouse's Social Security Number at the top of the form and the spouse's name on the line provided.

Same-sex couples that are married under the law of any state are now recognized as married couples for Virginia income tax purposes. For more information, see Virginia Tax Bulletin 14-7 (Public Document 14- 174, 10/7/14).

If one spouse is a Virginia resident and the other is a nonresident, you may not file a joint Virginia return unless you both elect to determine your joint Virginia taxable income as if you were both Virginia residents. If the spouses do not make such election, the resident spouse must file a separate return (Form 760) using Filing Status 3. If the nonresident spouse has Virginia source income to report, he or she must file a separate return using Form 763. The spouses must compute their itemized deductions and allocate exemptions for dependents as if they had filed separate federal returns. As a general rule, the spouse claiming an exemption for a dependent must be reporting at least half of the total federal adjusted gross income. In addition, each spouse must be able to support his or her claim of itemized deductions. If the underlying expenses for itemized deductions cannot be accounted for separately, each spouse must claim a proportionate share of the deductions based on his or her respective share of the joint federal adjusted gross income.

Exemptions

Enter the number of exemptions allowed in the boxes.

Dependents: Generally, you may claim the same number of dependent exemptions allowed on your federal return.

If using Filing Status 3, see the Filing Status instructions in the previous section for the rules on claiming dependents. You may never claim less than a whole exemption. The same dependent may not be claimed on separate returns.

Multiply the sum of exemptions claimed in the "You," "Spouse" and "Dependents" boxes by $930.

65 or Older: To qualify for the additional personal exemption for age 65 or older, you must have been age 65 or older on or before January 1, 2015.

Blind: To qualify for the additional personal exemption for the blind, you must have been considered blind for federal income tax purposes.

Multiply the sum of exemptions claimed for "65 or older" and "Blind" by $800.

Low-Income Individuals: You cannot claim the 65 or older or Blind exemptions if you also claimed a Credit for Low-Income Individuals on Line 24 of Form 760.

Exemption Amount: Add the dollar amount from Section A to the dollar amount from Section B. Enter this amount on Line 13.

Note for Filing Status 3: Each spouse must determine exemptions as if separate federal returns had been filed, using the federal rules for separate reporting. If dependent exemptions cannot be accounted for separately, they must be proportionately allocated between each spouse based on each spouse's income. One spouse may never claim less than a whole personal exemption.

Line Instructions

All amounts entered on your return must be rounded to the nearest dollar. Amounts less than 50 cents should be rounded down while all amounts of 50 cents - 99 cents should be rounded up. Rounding to the nearest dollar improves return preparation accuracy and reduces processing time.

Line 1 Federal Adjusted Gross Income. Enter the federal adjusted gross income from your federal return. If married filing separately (Filing Status 3), enter only the amount of income attributable to you. Be sure to use the federal adjusted gross income amount, NOT federal taxable income.

Line 2 Additions. If you reported any additions on Schedule ADJ, enter the total amount from Line 3 of Schedule ADJ.

Line 3. Add Lines 1 and 2 and enter the total.

Line 4 Age Deduction. Are you eligible to claim an age deduction? For the 2014 taxable year, taxpayers born on or before January 1, 1950, may qualify to claim an age deduction based on their birth date, filing status and income. A taxpayer who claims an age deduction may NOT claim a disability income subtraction, credit for low-income individuals, or Virginia earned income credit.

For married taxpayers, each eligible spouse may take either an age deduction or a disability income subtraction. Neither spouse may claim an age deduction if one spouse claimed a credit for low-Income Individuals or Virginia earned income credit, even if filing separate returns. Claim the deduction or subtraction that gives you the greatest tax benefit.

If you or your spouse are not claiming a disability subtraction or a credit for earned or low-income and your birth date is on or before January 1, 1950, read below.

Taxpayers Age 65 and Older

If you or your spouse were born on or before January 1, 1950, you may qualify to claim an age deduction of up to $12,000 each for 2014. The age deduction you may claim depends on your birth date, filing status and income.

If your birth date is:

On or before January 1, 1939: You may claim an age deduction of $12,000. If you are married, each spouse born on or before January 1, 1939, may claim a $12,000 age deduction. For individuals born after January 1, 1939, the age deduction is based on the criteria below.
On or between January 2, 1939, and January 1, 1950: Your age deduction is based on your income. A taxpayer's income, for purposes of determining an income-based age deduction, is the taxpayer's adjusted federal adjusted gross income or "AFAGI." A taxpayer's AFAGI is the taxpayer's federal adjusted gross income, modified for any fixed date conformity adjustments and reduced by any taxable Social Security and Tier 1 Railroad Benefits.

For Filing Status 1, single taxpayers, the maximum allowable age deduction of $12,000 is reduced $1 for every $1 the taxpayer's AFAGI exceeds $50,000.

For all married taxpayers, whether filing jointly or separately, the maximum allowable age deduction of $12,000 each is reduced $1 for every $1 the married taxpayers' joint AFAGI exceeds $75,000.

All Married Taxpayers: A married taxpayer's income- based age deduction is always determined using the married taxpayers' joint AFAGI. Regardless of whether filing jointly or separately, if you are married, your income-based age deduction is determined using the combined income of both spouses. If both spouses are claiming an income-based age deduction, regardless of whether filing jointly or separately, the married taxpayers must compute a joint age deduction first, then allocate half of the joint deduction to each spouse.

Line 5 Social Security Act and Equivalent Tier 1 Railroad Retirement Act Benefits. Enter the amount of taxable social security and/or Tier 1 Railroad Retirement Act Benefits that you included in your federal adjusted gross income.

Do not include Tier 2 Railroad Retirement Benefits and Other Railroad Retirement and Railroad Unemployment Benefits. See instructions for Schedule ADJ to determine if these benefits can be included as other subtractions.

Line 6 State Income Tax Refund or Overpayment Credit. Enter the amount of any state income tax refund or overpayment credit that you reported as income on your federal return.

Line 7 Subtractions. If you reported any other subtractions on Virginia Schedule ADJ, enter the total amount from Line 7 of Schedule ADJ.

Line 8. Add Lines 4, 5, 6 and 7 and enter the total.

Line 9 Virginia Adjusted Gross Income. Subtract Line 8 from Line 3 and enter the total. Compare this number with the filing threshold for your filing status on Page 3 to see if you are required to file Form 760. If your income is below the threshold amount, but you had Virginia income tax withheld or made estimated tax payments, follow the instructions on Page 3 to complete your return and claim your refund.

ITEMIZED OR STANDARD DEDUCTIONS

You must claim the same type of deductions (standard or itemized) on your Virginia return as you claimed on your federal return. Your state and local income taxes must be subtracted from your itemized deductions. Property and other taxes included as deductions on your federal return are also allowed on your Virginia return. If one spouse claims itemized deductions, the other spouse must also claim itemized deductions.

If a joint federal return was filed and you are filing separate returns in Virginia (Filing Status 3), itemized deductions that cannot be accounted for separately must be allocated proportionately between spouses based on each spouse's share of the combined federal adjusted gross income.

Line 10 Itemized Deductions. You must claim itemized deductions on your Virginia return if you claimed itemized deductions on your federal return. Before making an entry on Form 760, Line 10, answer the following questions:

Do you have an addition (Schedule ADJ, Line 2a) or subtraction (Schedule ADJ, Line 6a) for Fixed Date Conformity?

YES. Refer to Page 12 and follow the instructions on the FDC Worksheet and Itemized Deduction Worksheet to complete Form 760, Lines 10 - 11.

NO. Are your itemized deductions on your federal return limited?

YES. Refer to Page 12 and follow the instructions on the Itemized Deduction Worksheet to complete Form 760, Lines 10 - 11.

NO. Enter the total from federal Schedule A on Form 760, Line 10.

Line 11 State and Local Income Taxes claimed on Schedule A. Enter the state and local income tax from federal Schedule A.

Line 12 Net Itemized Deductions or Standard Deductions. If claiming itemized deductions, subtract Line 11 from Line 10. Otherwise enter standard deduction.

STANDARD DEDUCTIONS

Filing Status 1...............Enter $3,000

Filing Status 2...............Enter $6,000

Filing Status 3...............Enter $3,000

Do not complete Lines 10 or 11 when claiming a standard deduction.

Dependent on Another's Return - If you can be claimed as a dependent on the federal return of another taxpayer, your standard deduction is limited to the amount of your earned income. Enter the smaller of the amount of earned income or the standard deduction amount on Line 12.

Line 13 Exemptions. Enter the sum of the total dollar amount from Exemption Section A and the total dollar amount from Exemption Section B.

Line 14 Deductions. If you reported any deductions on Schedule ADJ, enter the total amount from Line 9 of Schedule ADJ. You must attach the Schedule ADJ to your return.

Line 17 Amount of Tax. To compute your tax, you can use either the tax table or the tax rate schedule on Page 36 or use the Tax Calculator on the Department's website.

Line 18 Spouse Tax Adjustment (STA). Couples filing jointly under Filing Status 2 may reduce their tax by up to $259 with the STA if both have taxable income to report and their combined taxable income on Line 16 is more than $3,000.

Use the STA Worksheet on Page 14 or the STA Calculator on the website at www.tax.virginia.gov to complete this line.

Enter the computed STA amount on Line 18 of Form 760. You must also enter the Virginia Adjusted Gross Income (VAGI) for your spouse.

Using the STA, couples filing joint returns will not pay higher taxes than if they had filed separate returns.

HOW IT WORKS: Virginia tax rates increase with income: 2% up to $3,000; 3% from $3,001 to $5,000; 5% from $5,001 to $17,000; and 5.75% for income over $17,000. The STA lets both incomes reported on jointly filed returns benefit from the lower tax rates.

EXAMPLE: The Smiths have combined Virginia taxable income of $47,000. One spouse's income is $35,000 and the other spouse's income is $12,000. Without the STA, their Virginia tax is $2,445. With the STA, both spouses benefit from the lower tax rates. Using the STA Calculator at www.tax.virginia.gov, the Smiths compute the STA of $220, reducing their taxes to $2,225.

If the amount of purchases from out-of-state mail order catalogs totaled $100 or less for the entire year, you do not have to pay consumer's use tax on these purchases. If the purchases were from out-of-state mail order catalogs and exceed $100, or the purchases were of any amount from sources other than mail order catalogs, then you must pay consumer's use tax on the total amount of untaxed purchases made during the calendar year from all sources. The tax is based on the "cost price" of the goods and does not include separately stated shipping or delivery charges but it does include any "shipping and handling" charges if listed as a combined item on the sales invoice.

Nonprescription drugs and proprietary medicines purchased for the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease in human beings are exempt from the consumer's use tax.

Instructions for Virginia Schedule ADJ

FIXED DATE CONFORMITY UPDATE FOR 2014

Virginia's Fixed Date Conformity with the Internal Revenue Code: Virginia's date of conformity with the federal enhanced Earned Income Tax Credit ("EITC") was extended to taxable years ending before January 1, 2018. Low-Income taxpayers may also continue to claim the portion of the Virginia Low-Income Tax Credit that is based on the federal EITC without making complex adjustments on their Virginia income tax returns.

Virginia's date of conformity with the other provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) remains January 2, 2013. Congress did not enact any federal tax legislation that would impact Virginia after January 2, 2013, so taxpayers may still use their federal adjusted gross income as the starting point for calculating their Virginia taxable income, with limited exceptions. Virginia will continue to disallow federal income tax deductions for bonus depreciation allowed for certain assets under IRC §§ 168(k), 168(l), 168(m), 1400L and 1400N; the five-year carryback of federal net operating loss deductions generated in taxable year 2008 or 2009; and federal income tax deductions for applicable high yield discount obligations under IRC § 163(e) (5)(F).

If you claim this subtraction, you cannot claim a Credit for Low-Income Individuals or Virginia Earned Income Credit.

52	Long-Term Capital Gain - Income taxed as a long-term capital gain, or any income taxed as investment services partnership income for federal tax purposes is allowed as a subtraction provided the income is attributable to an investment in a "qualified business" as defined in Va. Code § 58.1-339.4 or in any other technology business approved by the Secretary of Technology. The business must have its principal facility in Virginia and less than $3 million in annual revenues for the fiscal year preceding the investment. The investment must be made between the dates of April 1, 2010, and June 30, 2015. Taxpayers claiming the Qualified Equity and Subordinated Debt Credit cannot claim this subtraction relating to investments in the same business. In addition, no investment is "qualified" for this deduction if the business performs research in Virginia on human embryonic stem cells.
53	Historic Rehabilitation - To the extent included in federal adjusted gross income, any amount of gain or income recognized by a taxpayer in connection with the Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit is allowed as a subtraction on the Virginia return.
54	First-Time Home Buyer Savings Accounts - To the extent included in federal adjusted gross income, an individual may subtract any income attributable to a first-time home buyer savings account that was taxed as interest, capital gains, or other income for federal income tax purposes.

Tax Credit for Low-Income Individuals or Virginia Earned Income Credit

You may be eligible to claim a Credit for Low-Income Individuals if your family Virginia adjusted gross income (family VAGI) is equal to or less than the federal poverty guidelines and you meet the Eligibility Requirements. You are eligible for the Virginia Earned Income Credit if you claimed an Earned Income Tax Credit on your federal return. You cannot claim both a Credit for Low- Income Individuals and a Virginia Earned Income Credit. Claim the credit that benefits you the most. Please complete the entire section.

Eligibility Requirements: The Credit for Low-Income Individuals or Virginia Earned Income Credit may NOT be claimed if you, your spouse, or any dependents claimed on your return or on your spouse's return claim any of the following:

Age deduction
Exemption for taxpayers who are blind or age 65 and over
Virginia National Guard subtraction (see Subtraction Code 28)
Basic military pay subtraction (see Subtraction Code 38)
Federal & state employee subtraction (see Subtraction Code 39) OR
You are claimed as a dependent on another taxpayer's return.

Line 10 Compute your Family VAGI: Enter your Social Security Number, name and Virginia adjusted gross income (VAGI) from Line 9, Form 760. For all married taxpayers, enter your spouse's Social Security Number and name, and then follow the instructions below for your filing status:

Filing Status 2, Married Filing Jointly: If you entered the joint VAGI for both you and your spouse exactly as shown on Line 9, Form 760, of your joint return, you do not need to enter a separate VAGI for your spouse. If you entered only your portion of the VAGI from Line 9, Form 760, then enter your spouse's VAGI on your spouse's line. The sum of your VAGI and your spouse's VAGI should equal the joint VAGI amount shown on Line 9, Form 760.
Filing Status 3, Married Filing Separately: To claim the credit, you are required to provide your spouse's VAGI. If your spouse is:
- Filing a separate Virginia Form 760, enter the VAGI on Line 9, Form 760, from your spouse's return. Only one spouse may claim the Credit for Low-Income Individuals.
- Not required to file Form 760 (for example, if your spouse is a nonresident), compute your spouse's VAGI as if your spouse is required to file Form 760 resident return and enter the amount on your spouse's line.

Enter the Social Security Number and name of each dependent claimed as an exemption on your return and, if any of your dependents had income, enter the VAGI for each dependent. For Filing Status 3, Married Filing Separately, also enter the Social Security Number and name for each of your dependents not claimed as an exemption on your return and, if any of the dependents had income, enter the VAGI for each dependent.

Add the VAGI amounts and enter the total. This is your family VAGI.

Line 11 Determine if you Qualify for the Credit for Low-Income Individuals: Enter the number of family members listed in Line 10. If your family VAGI on Line 10 is equal to or less than the federal poverty amount for your family size, you are eligible to claim the Credit for Low-Income Individuals.

Line 12 Exemptions to Compute Credit: If you qualify for the Credit for Low-Income Individuals, enter the number of personal and dependent exemptions you reported on your Form 760. Do not include exemptions for age 65 or older and blind.

Line 13: Multiply Line 12 by $300. Enter the result on Line 13 and proceed to Line 14. If you do not qualify for the Credit for Low-Income Individuals but claimed an Earned Income Tax Credit on your federal return, enter $0 on Line 13 and proceed to Line 14.

Line 14: Enter the amount of Earned Income Tax Credit claimed on your federal return. If you did not claim an Earned Income Tax Credit on your federal return enter $0.

When a taxpayer using the married filing separately status computes the Virginia Earned Income Credit, the taxpayer must first determine his proportion of the earned income that was used to qualify for the federal Earned Income Tax Credit. That proportion must then be multiplied by the total Virginia Earned Income Credit, which is 20% of the federal Earned Income Tax Credit. The spouses may then claim their proportional shares of the credit on their separate returns.

Line 15: Multiply the amount on Line 14 by 20% (.20).

Line 16: Enter the greater of Line 13 or Line 15.

Line 17 Compute Your Credit: Compare the amount entered on Line 16, Schedule ADJ, to your tax liability on Line 19, Form 760. Enter the smaller amount on Line 17, Schedule ADJ and on Line 24, Form 760.

The Credit for Low-Income Individuals or Virginia Earned Income Credit is a nonrefundable credit. A nonrefundable credit cannot exceed your tax liability. If you claim any credits on Lines 25 - 27, Form 760, in addition to the Credit for Low-Income Individuals or Virginia Earned Income Credit, the sum of all nonrefundable credits claimed cannot exceed your tax liability on Line 19, Form 760.

Many low-income individuals who work and have earned income under $52,427 may also qualify for up to $6,143 in Federal Earned Income Credit when filing their federal tax return! See your federal instructions or call 1-800-829-3676 to order Pub. 596.

Addition to Tax, Penalty and Interest

Line 18 Addition to Tax

Use Form 760C to compute any addition to tax you may owe for underpayment of estimated taxes. Use Form 760F if at least 66 2/3% of your income is derived from farming, fishing and/or being a merchant seaman.

You will not owe an addition to tax if each payment is made on time and:

you owe $150 or less in tax with your return.
total withholding and timely estimated payments were at least 90% (66 2/3% for farmers, fishermen and merchant seamen) of your 2014 tax liability after nonrefundable credits or 100% of your 2013 tax liability after nonrefundable credits.
you meet one of the exceptions computed on Form 760C or Form 760F. Attach Form 760C or 760F showing the computation.

If you do not meet the criteria shown above, visit www.tax.virginia.gov, or refer to Form 760C or Form 760F.

If you need to complete Form 760C or 760F, enter the amount of the addition to tax on this line. Those who file Form 760C or Form 760F should fill in the oval and attach a completed copy of Form 760C or Form 760F.

Line 19 Penalty

The due date for filing a calendar year return is May 1, and the automatic extension provisions apply to returns filed by November 1. Depending on when you file your return, you may be required to compute an extension penalty or a late filing penalty. For more information on due dates and penalty provisions, refer to When to File Your Return on Page 3 of these instructions.

Extension penalty: If you file your return within 6 months after the due date and the amount of tax due with the return is more than 10% of your total tax liability, you must compute an extension penalty on the balance of tax due. The extension penalty is applied at the rate of 2% per month or part of a month, from the due date through the date your return is filed. The maximum extension penalty is 12% of the tax due. Note: If you do not pay the tax in full when you file your return, a late payment penalty will be assessed at the rate of 6% per month or part of a month from the date the return is filed through the date the tax is paid, to a maximum of 30%. If you file your return during the extension period, but do not pay the tax due when you file your return, both the extension penalty and the late payment penalty may apply. The extension penalty will apply from the due date of the return through the date the return is filed and the late payment penalty will apply from the date the return is filed through the date of payment. To avoid paying the late payment penalty during the extension period, you must pay any tax owed when you file the return.

Late filing penalty: If you file your return more than 6 months after the due date, no extension provisions apply and you must compute a late filing penalty of 30% of the tax due with your return.

Line 20 Interest

If you filed a tax due return after the filing date, even if you had an extension, you are liable for interest on the tax due amount on Form 760, Line 29, from the due date to the date filed or postmarked. If you do not pay in full when you file the return, you may be subject to additional penalties and interest. To obtain the daily interest factor, please call (804) 367-8031 or contact your locality.

Compute all credits for taxes paid to other states on Schedule OSC and enter the total credit claimed on Line 25 of Form 760.

Generally, Virginia will allow taxpayers filing resident individual income tax returns to claim credit for income tax paid as a nonresident to another state on earned or business income derived from sources outside Virginia or any gain (if included in federal adjusted gross income) on the sale of a capital asset outside Virginia, provided that the income is taxed by Virginia as well as the other state.

If you are a resident of Virginia and the income is from Arizona, District of Columbia, California or Oregon, the credit will usually be allowed on the nonresident income tax return of the other state and should not be claimed on the Virginia resident return.

See Va. Code § 58.1-332 for more information on credits for taxes paid to other states.

Attach a complete copy of Schedule OSC and all other states' returns to Form 760. The credit must be computed separately for each state. Schedule OSC is available on the Department's website at www.tax.virginia.gov or by calling (804) 440-2541.
